Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009119580A1] Provided are a processing apparatus and a processing method wherein work processing efficiency is improved by improving efficiency of operations of carrying in and carrying out a work to and from a processing chamber. The processing apparatus is provided with a processing chamber (10) having a first carry in/out port and a second carry in/out port. The processing apparatus is also provided with a first transfer mechanism which performs operations of carrying in/out a work (30) through the first carry in/out port; a second transfer mechanism which performs operations of carrying in/out the work (30) through the second carry in/out port; a replacing means for transferring a work (30a), which is carried in by the first transfer mechanism and processed, to the second transfer mechanism, and transferring a work (32a), which is carried in by the second transfer mechanism and processed, to the first transfer mechanism; and a control section (22) which drives the first transfer mechanism and the second transfer mechanism, alternately supplies unprocessed work from the first carry in/out port and the second carry in/out port to the processing chamber, and processes the work.
